The Eagle Pilots are the Aeldari Aspect Warriors who follow the Warrior Path of the Phoenix Lord Amon Harakht, the path of the fighter pilot.


These Aeldari are superb pilots of any type of Aeldari aircraft or spacecraft, but especially excel in the aerial arts of war.


Combat Doctrine

Eldar Nightwings

Eagle Pilot Aspect Warriors flying Aeldari Nightwings.

Eagle Pilots serve as the combat pilots of the Aeldari craftworlds, performing combat air patrols and fulfilling air superiority and ground attack support roles for Aeldari military forces in the field.

Eagle Pilots possess the ability to fly nearly any aircraft but they primarily fly the Aeldari's Nightwing Interceptor and the Phoenix strike combat aircraft.

The Nightwing interceptor is the primary fighter aircraft of the Aeldari, combining a speed and manouverability that no Imperial fighter aircraft can match, with considerable firepower and the sophisticated energy field protection that is common to Aeldari vehicles.

The Nightwing is a variable geometry aircraft capable of altering its wing position to shift between subsonic and supersonic speeds.

The Aeldari Phoenix is a heavily armed strike aircraft that is intended to engage both enemy infantry and armour on the ground, while its sophisticated energy field protects it from enemy fire.

Phoenix Lord

The Phoenix Lord of the Aeldari Eagle Pilots is Amon Karakht, a term in the Aeldari Lexicon that literally translates into Low Gothic as "fighter pilot."

Little else is known about this Phoenix Lord other than that he founded the Eagle Pilots Aspect.
